Comments on: Fracas! http://www.nstperfume.com/2008/05/16/fracas/ a blog about perfume Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:52:20 +0000 hourly 1 By: Anonymous http://www.nstperfume.com/2008/05/16/fracas/#comment-65788 Anonymous Thu, 22 May 2008 13:11:15 +0000 http://www.nstperfume.com/2008/05/16/fracas/#comment-65788 Mamabear, Fracas is a fabulous perfume, a top classy classic juice and I really understand why you love it so much! Yesterday I wrote that Fracas brought back tons of memories, so with all those links to my childhood I would not chose it for myself. But then there is Bandit... and I am totally falling for Bandit! Now there is something I am puzzled about: why do you all think that Fracas is so strong? I'm a girl who used to wear (the original) Opium, Byzance and Ysatis so Fracas still pretty modest to my nose. The only fragrance that freaked my nose out is Carnal Flower. Fracas is a fragrance that any woman can wear with pride. Mamabear, Fracas is a fabulous perfume, a top classy classic juice and I really understand why you love it so much!

They must have used other products like soap or powder that smelled very similar to Fracas. I don't think that Fracas is so very strong and overpowering. It is a great classic perfume, but then also I recognize it so I m maybe less surprized by it.

I remember it very well, I just know this perfume for when I was a very young girl, some women who came to visit us were wearing this fragrance..... And the first woman who came to my mind was an aunt of mine who smelled just like this... but this is so very long ago... This brings me way back to my childhood when women still wore nylons with a line at the backside of their legs and they needed jaratelles to even wear nylons. Fracas also is the smell of petticoats that my mom and other moms wore under their wide skirt. All those memories and such details, this is really a special personal experience.

I have to go into town as well so maybe I will leave my trails..:D Mb, it's a rainy cool day and yesterday my samplepack arrived from Pobert Piquet in NYC, (so fast, aren't they wonderful!) so I guess it is time to try Fracas.

Whenever I wear Michael Kors original or Estee Lauder's Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia, I get compliments from hubby.

I have a bottle of the EdP and I sometimes spritz it on in the privacy of my own home, but honestly, I think I am scared to wear it out of doors since it is such a statement - it's showstopping. I can only imagine the impact it must have had when it was first released in the years of post-war austerity (didn't it appear circa 1948?) Like the introduction of sound or technicolor in movies :-) p.s. I heard a rumour that men are reputed not to like the smell of tuberose...Can anyone bust this particular myth?

I do think Fracas was one of the first "big" perfumes I managed to learn to love. I have the EdP plus a small solid plus a tiny little mini of the parfum — all fabulous.

I'm normally not a tuberose fan, loathe gardenia, and I tend to stay far away from heady fragrances. For some reason, even though it's like being hit on the head with a floral anvil, I absolutely LOVE fracas! It's one of those fragrances that immediately transports me elsewhere, or at least lets me fantasize that I'm elegantly turned out for a spectacular ball. I hope to acquire a little bottle for my collection soon. Wow, that story is so romantic – wish I had memories like that to look back on!
